Bahrain Grand Prix: Schedule for the first race of the new era
Just like last year, Formula 1 begins its season in Sakhir for the Bahrain Grand Prix. To not miss any of the action offered by these new cars, Motors Inside presents to you the TV schedule and timings for this first race of a new era.
The 2022 season begins at the international Bahrain circuit, located in the middle of the desert. Designed by Hermann Tilke, the track was inaugurated in 2004.
Like last year, a few days after the pre-season tests, the first race of the year takes place on a track regularly plagued by sandstorms.
Not only has the technical regulation been modified for 2022. The format of the weekends has also undergone a transformation.
In order to reduce the workload on stable staff, Thursday has been made lighter, and testing on Thursday now takes place on Friday morning.
Thus, free practice sessions 1 & 2 are postponed to Friday afternoon.
Here are the broadcast schedules:
In France, Canal + remains the official broadcaster. In Belgium, it’s Tipik.
